| Couldn't exactly fit the whole thing:
Remove all electronic payment options that do not have buyer protection.
This is happening at a increasing frequency rate of people doing money transfers
and getting scammed. It is bad enough you can scam sellers via paypal but to
have scammers set up shops and prey on buyers, take their money and then close
down, not caring at all what happens to their bricklink account (ie no downside
for them),
I'd put this out there as a suggestion. If not for all at least for international
transactions as they seem to be targeted far more often.

Are you including bank transfers and IBAN in this suggestion? In Australia bank
transfers are free (unlike paypal) and is how I pay for 90% of my domestic purchases.
I don't think honest buyers and sellers should be punished (by having to
pay paypal fees) due to a minority of dishonest sellers, and buyers too greedy
to use their common sense .

| Maybe the rule could apply new sellers up until a certain amount of positive
selling feedback is attained. The potential for larger scams at that point is
possible I guess.
I still agree that as human beings we should think positively & trust in each
other. It's unfortunate that any person feels a need to purposefully disadvantage
another in any way.

Voted NO.
Why should we do that? Iban (bank) transfers are very common here in Europe.
It is the number 1 payment option.
